Cadence Solar Energy LLC Cadence Solar Energy LLC (Cadence Solar) is awholly-owned subsidiary of Invenergy SolarDevelopment North America LLC (Invenergy). Preliminary diligence of the site began in early2018. Analysis of Available Transmission Capacity (ATC). Review of land surrounding transmissioninfrastructure. Entered PJM queue in March 2018. Signed first real estate agreement in June 2018.
Description ofProject
How Solar Facilities SunlightInvenergy uses state-of-the-art photovoltaic (PV) panels to harness the sun’senergy. Nearby transmission infrastructure will deliver energy to the grid.
Cadence Solar Energy Center The Cadence Solar Energy Center (Project) is a 275MW solar-powered electric generation facility locatedin York, Liberty, and Taylor Townships, Union County,Ohio. The Project is sited approximately 10 miles northwest of Marysville. The Project’s point of interconnection is theMarysville 345 kV substation. The Project represents Invenergy’s commitment tocontinued investment in Ohio utility scale solargeneration projects.
Why Ohio? Cost Competitive Technology Solar technology is simple and scalable; its flexible and reliable. Withcosts that have decreased by nearly 90% in less than a decade, solar isnow one of the least expensive and fastest growing sources of newenergy generation in the world.Commercial and Municipal Demand City of Columbus – Proposed Electric Service Aggregation Program(Ballot Issue 1) Smart Columbus Energy- Aggregation for local large corporate andindustrial organizations that consume approximately 5,000MWh or moreper year. Nationwide Commercial & Industrial UsersDecarbonization goals from utilities like AmericanElectric Power (AEP) Renewable projects and relationship to carbon emission free energygeneration. Cleaner air/water.
Project Schedule
ScheduleDevelopment Timeline2018 - 2022DevelopmentActivities include permitting, environmental andinterconnection studies, and public feedback2022 - 2023Q4 2023ConstructionOperationsGroundbreaking, construction, inspections and QAQC,Final commissioning and certificationOperations and continuousMaintenance of equipmentand the land.
Operations / Decommissioning The operational life of the facility is expected to be atleast 35 years. Activities during operations include landscape and vegetative management,equipment monitoring and inspections, and project area security.The owner of the facility will be responsible fordecommissioning the facility at the end of itsoperational life, as required by the conditions putforth by the Ohio Power Siting Board. A bond or other financial security will be put into place prior to thecommencement of construction to ensure that sufficient funds are available fordecommissioning. Decommissioning involves the removal of equipment and the reclamation of theland.
Project Components andFacilities
Bi-facial Solar Modules Innovative design; proven technology. Solar panels are made of glass, aluminum,copper and other common materials. Solar panels are safe to touch, attach to yourhome or install in your neighborhood. Solarpanels have been attached to houses, hospitalsand airports for decades. While there are different kinds of solar panels,the most common are made of silica – thesecond most abundant element on earth afteroxygen. The faces of silica panels are similar insubstance to standard household glass. Cadence Solar will utilize panels that will passthe EPA's Toxicity Characteristic LeachingProcedure (TCLP) test.Update picture17
Single-Axis TrackingSystem Follows the sun throughout the day toharness energy at the optimal angle. The Project will likely utilize a ‘2 inportrait’ configuration. Accommodates variation in groundcover plant species and allows foradditional agricultural features. Approximately 15’ total height profileat most extreme tracking position.
Other Components & Design The Project will also include associated supportfacilities such as access roads,meteorological stations, buried electrical collectionlines, inverters, and a collection substation. An above-ground transmission line will be built toconnect the collection substation to the point ofinterconnection, the Marysville 345 kV substation. Conceptual engineering designs are underway andmore detailed designs will be developed byprofessional engineers prior to construction.
Project Components and Facilities The project is undergoing the design andreview of a vegetative management andlandscaping plan. The vegetative management plan will dictatehow/where/what plantings will be placed under thesolar panels, as well as how those plantings are to bemonitored and maintained to ensure there are noproject issues with drainage, invasive species, andmowings or clearings. The landscape plan dictates how/where/what aestheticplantings will be placed near and around the projectarea. There are typically multiple configurations ofplanting ‘treatments’ that can be utilized to achieveappropriate viewsheds of the project and project area.EXAMPLE CONDITION

OPSB Review andCertification Process
OPSB Role Before any company can build a “major utility facility,” the OPSB assures that itbenefits Ohio’s citizens, promotes the state’s economic interests, and protects theenvironment and land use. Public and local government participation are strongly encouraged, butdecision-making authority rests with the OPSB. If approved, the OPSB issues a certificate for the construction, operation, andmaintenance of the facility.
